MUG WOMEN
- German Version -

Mug-Woman are aout of police photos between 1910 and 1930 in Australia. Working on these faces touched me. It meant  a going into the lifes opf these women, I got familiar with the, reading on their faces and commenting them. Here you can see the frontpage and the back. The back shows another part of the women, hurt and vulnerable. This is also the face how the women saw themselves in the mirror. A specialityof human view: the others always see me through another angle then I see myself. Inverted.
